♥ Make a wish Cont...♥ Day 4 and 5 Movie World etc

Day 4 Tuesday the 11th May 2010. Today is a rest day we can hope hehe, Alex was not too pushy in the morning to get out but that changed, they played with their Dolphins and watched the DVD from Sea World, Alex has been doing find a word puzzles with a lot of help from mummy and daddy but at least she is trying to learn  we went for a walk and did some shopping got some pencils and a colouring in book for the girls which was trouble as Robyn threw a wobbly and we forgot to get 2 ARGH!!!!! Plus we got Bubbles for the girls to play with at the room hehe

We met the Make a wish coordinator at lunch time, well just after in the front foyer of the Crown Towers, she was ill on Saturday and she didn’t want to share with us, so we organised another day to meet as she worked Monday and we had our busy day so decided on today, the girls said hi and then became very restless and as they could see the pool wanted to go. She mainly caught up with us to be sure we were enjoying our time here and also the main reason to see if Alex was enjoying it and well that was very much apparent in her excitement and energy lol, when she speaks and we all jump at the moment hehe how does a 5 yr old know it’s all about her this week lol,

that afternoon we spent back in the pool side with spa and swimming fun for all Alex is our water rat goes well with her water sign (star sign Cancer just like Mummy) mummy and daddy braved out the big beach pool which is freezing as well as the turtle/pirate pool and the heated indoor pool all got used at least 3 times but may have been 4-5 lol as Alex kept changing her mind but we also got to jump in the lovely spa ♥ after awhile it was time to head back to the room for shower a short rest and then off to dinner but OMG Alex didn’t want to leave she wanted to stay in the pool all day/night, we did get out though with her very sad but once back in the room she was happy to have jelly and fruit then drawing so she was happy and distracted for a little while.

Also we had Outback Spectacular that night where Alex loved it all ♥ til the part with explosions etc she hates loud noises but it was after 9pm by then too so both girls started getting tired, we grabbed a few things from the gift shop I got a T-shirt as this was more for me as it was my 40th birthday Present (LATE due to everything that happened in July last year) girls got glasses that light up at the bottom then we drove home, the girls were out in seconds of getting in the car and we missed our exit so went the other way to Surfers Paradise was cool seeing the city lights from the other side even as we got lost and then found our way by the tall buildings lighting up the skies lol.

So tired but even with the girls asleep Pete and myself didn’t get to bed til after 12 as we watched the storm out over the ocean I took a couple of photos but not very good it was too far away, this was our first late night, Alex did have a bad night with dreams and Robyn was restless but I love cuddling in with them to settle them and Robyn was the last on up in the morning (She slept all night in her bed again WooHoo)

Day 5 Wednesday the 12th May 2010. Movie world today so another long drawn out day of fun...  we arrived just before the set opening time but they had opened the gates so we went in very quickly, then walked around we just missed Tweety and bugs but got a photo of Melvin the Martian leaving, then the girls had their photo with Marilyn Monroe, then Alex decided we had to watch the Shrek 4D movie again hehe so in we go we did this in Jan when she had her birthday pass validated by My-fun so she loved it. After the movie we decided to try do some of the shows we missed last time and the Loony tunes one was next on the list so off we head to the set, on the way they got a photo with the Mystery inc (Scooby doo van with shaggy, Scooby and Fred.) and then with a smoke stop for Pete so the girls and I check out the old west cemetery and found one grave snoring and another laughing at us hehe didn’t hear that last time lol. 

Then into the set for the show was good and both Alex and Robyn got up to dance this is something Alex is not very good at unless mummy joins her, we then went to sideshow alley and Alex won a toy and wanted to ride the Big dodgem cars so Mummy took her while daddy went with Robyn looking at arcade games as she was too small. Then to the Loony tunes rides we grabbed a drink on the way, and Alex went on merry go round and then it was the river ride but only Alex and I went as they only had 2 seats left on that one and saved us waiting,

Alex was scared before we went in but then enjoyed it all, she was thinking it was the kiddy roller coaster we got a little wet , we then did the train with Robyn and mummy then they both did the mini dodgems and then decided to try have some food so went looking the girls talked us into lolly pops then we went into the Harry potter store got nothing then the Shrek store and grabbed 2 princess Fiona toys, then back out to see what next Pete checked out the dirty Harry Bar. We then went back to the rides as this was Alex’s instruction and another ride on the merry go round and then again the river ride but this time all 4 in the front row we had the back last time for me and Alex. Robyn was a little upset to get wet but loved looking for bug’s hehe.

After that we decided it was time to go and grabbed some food then watched the Scooby do show and got another photo this one with 3 super heroes Alex loved Wonder woman lol. Then we headed out grabbing a Tweety toy and Scooby toy at the gate for the girls and drive back to our room to think about what next for today or tomorrow

we also did the Aqua Duck today we did the 2nd to last one for the day, but as Pete was tired we decided to go alone he went with us to take some shots of us on the Duck then came back to the room while the 3 of us went on the drive ♥ Robyn was free so she sat on my lap but Alex had her own seat. I used the unicorn harness too as it was a busy place and only me so wanted to know I was in control a little hehe especially on the walk back to our room after sunset, we chose well as the sun set while on the water, the girls got to Drive the boat, and they get a licence to say they did it how cute. I also got photos of them driving, they really looked after us all on the cruise and loved Alex they did ask how she was as she was wearing her Make a wish hat I just said we are doing well and taking one day at a time as who wants their child with cancer to be sick (NO ONE) but we still have to deal with it. I would definitely suggest anyone going to Surfers Paradise to do the Aqua Duck it was pretty good with all the sights and info about the area.

Back at the room I had a lovely bath something that I really needed as I was so drained then had the girls join me, and then dinner Alex was out soon after these days are really taking their toll but she is defiantly having the best time and well if we say no do we hear about it lol ( we don’t as this is all about her plus when she wants something Robyn backs her up and they gang up on us so cute to see them united and sharing so much )

A Happy Birthday to my MIL (Peters Mum) and the girls Grandma in Victor Harbor South Australia
